Structured Source Editing

Configurable background syntax colors are back

Due to popular demand, the WTP Syntax Coloring
preferences pages once again allow setting of
background colors.

Formatting selection

The command previously known as Format Document will
now just be known as Format. This is because if the
user selects some text, the Format command will now
just format the elements selected. If no text is
selected, Format Document is performed. The Format
Active Elements command remains the same. When users
invoke that action, it will format the element the
cursor is currently on.

New hyperlinking preferences

The Eclipse platform has implemented a Hyperlinking
preference page for Text Editors where users may specify the kinds of
hyperlink navigation they want enabled. The kinds of Hyperlink created by the
WTP source editors are now available in that list. This new preference
page can be found under the Text Editors preference
page.

XML

New formatting preferences

Users can now specify if they want all text and
whitespace to be left alone in tags with PCDATA
content when formatting the document. Users can also
specify if they want the formatter to align the end
bracket of their start tag with the begin bracket
for tags that span more than one line. These options
can be found on the XML Source preference page.
